One topic I didn't really have room to address in that article, because it was quite long enough already, was saving water. So I've now rectified that omission with another article that's all about saving water at home. And I was surprised to find, once I got started on it, just how broad a topic it is. I'd already heard all the advice before about taking shorter showers, using faucet aerators, washing full loads of laundry, etc., etc.—but when you collect all those tips together in one place, it adds up to an astonishingly long list.

And that's just the ways to save water inside the house; you could write a whole book (and, in fact, many people have written books alredy) on all the things you can do to reduce water use in the yard. So even though this article is very long and very detailed, there are some topics on which it really just scratches the surface.

About Me

I am a freelance writer living in New Jersey, one of the most expensive states in the country, so I have had to hone my bargain hunting skills in self-defense. My husband and I are first-time homeowners and our current challenge is fixing up our house and yard as cheaply and greenly as possible.
